The Philadelphia Eagles suffered heartbreak on Monday with the news that Byron Jones had agreed to a deal to join the Miami Dolphins.
The news was made even worse when it was announced that the Eagles division rival, the New York Giants, scooped up the second-best cornerback on the board, landing James Bradberry.
Former Panthers CB James Bradberry is going to the Giants…3 yr $45M with $32M GTD, per source.

The former second-round pick hit his stride last season.
Set to turn 28 in August, Bradberry had his best NFL season, snagging three interceptions, 12 passes defended, 65 tackles and one sack.
Bradberry has been targeted 210 times over the past two seasons, averaging out to about 7 targets per game and he’ll give the Giants a huge lift in the secondary.
